3D Model Making...Halp

I want to make my custom .atm files for my world but I don't know which prgram to use to make them in the first place (before I convert them).

Any suggestions to which 3D Modelling program I should use?
PS
Anything free will do fine as long as it works...8p

plus Wings3D, Anim8or, and probably several others. Do you know how to Google? :)

i personally use anim8or. its free, very easy to learn and thiers also guides and tutorials on the website ( http://www.anim8or.com )

however, it has its downsides. like not really being able to uvmap models with it (or atleast i don't know how to yet

) but you can export the stuff you make in .obj format, and then use the wonderful program UVMapper ( http://www.tuwr.net/~miscstuff/UVMapperPro.rar ) to map it, then reimport the obj model into anim8or and export it in 3ds format so it can be imported into the model converter.
